Both are fun, but for us anyway, the lovebird makes a better all around pet because he is not aggressive and he lets anyone hold him. Hope that helps! LittleGems Rollerblading along the road.
I have owned and bred both lovebirds and parrotlets. Both species can be loud, but I find lovebirds more ear-piercing. I find male parrotlets to be much noisier than female parrotlets. Both species can be aggressive It really depends on the individual bird. Both species can be rather prone to being aggressive towards other birds. Both species can "go wild" pretty easily if they are not handled frequently.
Lovebirds very rarely will talk I did have 1 female that said a couple words. Female parrotlets very rarely talk, male parrotlets are more likely to talk, but still they are not generally really great talkers, and I know a LOT of males that do not say a word.
